CRICKET NOTES

KOWLOON-CIVIL SERVICE BEST GAME TO-DAY Indians Play Army; Club And Recreio Disengaged

(By "TAC")

CHIEF INTEREST, IN" THE "SENIOR LEAGUE CRICKET programme to-day centres in the game between Kowloon Cricket Club and Civil Service, at King's Park. As will be recalled, the C.S. caused an upset last Saturday when they beat Cralgengower, last year's joint champlons, by two wickets after getting them out "for only 60 runs.

It is unlikely that they will be able to do the same to Kowloon but, on the other hand, I don't think the "home side will take full points either. Strangely enough, I have a somewhat unreasonable feeling that home ground is going to be a disadvantage to the Kowloonites.

Pte. Hatfield's bowling bas besa written up with almost monotonous regularity and in some quarters the opinion has been expressed that he is' at the moment Hongkong's best bowler.. Without subscribing to this view in toto, 1 certainly agree that he is probably the Colony's steadiest.

Two or three forwards were al- ways up with the ball in attack and assisted their backs by re- solute and immediate tackling whenever the Navy were in pos- session. To-day's game will be a stern struggle and the result will rest in the hands of the two packs.
